Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Friday that Nolan Cain is leaving the Texas Longhorns to rejoin Texas A&M as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator.
- Cain previously worked with Michael Earley in College Station from 2022–24 and will resume primary responsibility for recruiting on Earley’s staff.
- Over nine seasons as a recruiting coordinator at LSU, Texas A&M and Texas, Cain helped assemble eight top‑10 recruiting classes, according to Sports Illustrated, a record that underpins his national reputation.
- D1Baseball and other reports say A&M plans to pay Cain among the highest assistant salaries in college baseball, but exact contract details have not been publicly confirmed.
- The move strengthens A&M’s recruiting reach and could tilt the Texas–Texas A&M recruiting battle while keeping Cain squarely on short lists for future head‑coaching openings.
